Index is 9, 56 sec. and Joshua Lee have a personal index of 9, 52 sec. He own the record at 8, 84 sec, (04/11/23) at 150 mph that is giving 0, 72 sec. under the index and 0, 68 under his personal index. You need 424, 63 H.P. (Wallace racing E.T and MPH calculator) to do it.
(3, 17 H.P. per cu.in.)
Now, let applied this set-up to the dragster class: L/DA. Minimum weight at 850 lbs and 7, 50 lbs per cu.in. Index is: 8, 85 sec.
134 cu.in. with 7, 50 lbs per cu.in., give 1005 lbs with 424, 63 H.P. (Wallace racing E.T and MPH calculator) give an E.T. of 7.77 seconds and 174.01 MPH. A whopping
1, 08 under!!!

Are you suggesting that he makes 3.17 HP/cid ?
***Nitro Joe's indicates that he has a 146 cid engine. 146 * 8.25 = 1205 lbs. min. wt. ****
